As a continuation of their photography studies in 1st year Art at Presentation Secondary Tralee, the 1st year students visited the Ardfert Camera Club’s exhibition in the nearby County Library and invited the club to display their exhibition on the corridors of Pres Tralee. The stunning photographs have drawn huge attention from all the students and staff in the school – not just the first years! On Wednesday 13th of December, members of the camera club, Steve Baker and Dillon Boyer, visited the school to meet with the members of the 1st year camera club committee to discuss the background of some of the photographs selected as favorites by the students. There was also an opportunity for the visitors to view some of the photographs the 1st years themselves had taken as part of the Art programme earlier this year - particularly those which had a similar theme to those in the exhibition. Members of the 1st year camera club committee include: Amy Corridan, Sadhbh Lowth, Ellie Mason, Sarah Horan, Ria Harmon, Yvonne Hurley, Elizabeth Martins, Angel Quilligan, Cara Grealish, Laura Somers, Taylor Rogers, Haliyah Mulumba, Alice O’Connell, Ellie O’Hanlon, Alysha McQuinn, Grainne Galvin, Rabeea Jahangir, and Hadil Zakrit. Art teachers Lily O'Sullivan and Alan O'Sullivan who coordinated the exhibition spoke of the huge benefit to the students of having such a wide range of professional images available for this week.
